Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte condemns vulgar on-field celebrations by the Longhorns following their win over Tennessee. In a Tuesday blog post, Del Conte apologizes to fans and calls the celebrations “embarrassing” for the University of Texas and says they “cannot happen again.” He specifically references defensive end Colin Simmons and running back Raleek Brown as players involved in the moment.
Both outlets frame the response as an unusually direct critique from the university’s athletic leadership toward its own program. While the reports agree on the substance of Del Conte’s comments—apology, characterization of the celebrations as inappropriate, and a message that the behavior will not be repeated—they differ mainly in wording and emphasis. CBS Sports highlights the warning that the behavior must not recur, while Yahoo Sports underscores the rare nature of the public criticism and the assessment that it reflects poorly on the school.
Del Conte’s comments come as the program addresses public reaction and sets expectations for conduct during future games.
